rth America of evidence-based algorithms developed and applied in Europe for triage of endoscopy and biopsy. We suggest that system dynamics influences that help maintain the status quo in North America include a variety of social and economic factors in addition to medical evidence. This work contributes to the growing body of evidence that the…[Read more]

Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a complex respiratory disease that can be induced by influenza virus infection. Critical care providers are uniquely positioned to manage this pathological progression in adult patients through evidence-based practice.

Influenza and subsequent acute respiratory distress syndrome are associated with…[Read more]

Senior residents were more likely to report a “detrimental” effect (56% vs 27%). A third of the residents believe that robotic surgery is impeding their ability to learn open and laparoscopic surgical techniques, and only 25% denied a negative impact. Senior residents are more likely to report this negative impact (67% vs 13%).

We sought to investigate the relationship of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) level with weight change and the risk of weight gain in an adult population who had normal weight at baseline and were followed up for 11 years.

A population-based prospective cohort study.

Nord-Trøndelag, Norway.

The study included 1501…[Read more]

From a mechanistic point of view, we speculated that the imine intermediate, synthesized by oxidases or dehydrogenases, could be converted into primary α-aminonitrile by nucleophilic addition of cyanide in aqueous solutions. Nitriles and some unnatural amino acids were synthesized through a cascade reaction by oxidative cyanation reaction with…[Read more]

Our study provides evidence that the NOTCH1-N431del mutation is responsible for this case of AOS. WS6 concentration To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with AOS caused by NOTCH1 mutation in Asia, and this information will be useful for providing the family with genetic counseling that can help to guide their future plans.This…[Read more]
